'To fill whom it may `concer/n.:I

a sub'lect of the King of Hungary, residing at Cleve and, in the county of Cuyahoga and Stateof Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in"Lamp-Brackets, of which the following isa specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates -to a lamp bracket,- l'or bicycles, and the object of my invention is to provide a novel bracket of a simple and inexpensive construction that can be attached to the handle bar support of a bicycle or to the front axle or hub of the bicycle.

Another obj ect of this invention is to provide an adjustable lamp holder for supporting a lamp or lantern at a desired angle relative toabicycle. l f i .'lhese, and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, are attained by a metallic lamp bracket that will hereinafter be described in Adetail and then s ecifically claimed, andreference will now be had to the drawing forming art of this applicatian, wherein there is il ustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, but itis to be un-` derstood that the structural elements thereof 'can vbe varied or changed without departing from the spir't and scope of the invention.

In the dia, 'ngs, Figure'l is anelevation of a portion of the bicycle provided with the .lamp bracket, Fig. 2 is-an enlarged side elevation of the lamp bracket, Fig. 3 is a front elevatipl of the same, Fig.l 4 isa plan of the lamp'bracket. v i, l

1 10 designates a vertical hanger carried by Be 1t knownthat I, JOSEPH BosNYAKovITs,

.injie upper end of the plate 1, said hanger conforming in shape to a loop having an opening 11 to receive fastening means employed for bicycle.

As shown in the upper part of Fig. l, a set the hanger 10, and maintains the bracket in engagement with the handle bar support 13 ofthe bicycle. As shown in the lower part of Fig. 1, the hanger 10 is retained in en agement with the end of the hub or forwar axle 14 of the bicycle by a' nut 15. In this instance, the extension 8 and the socket 9 phereof are positioned at right angles to the ugs 2.

The plate 1 and the lugs 2 are preferably made of malleable metal, whereby the lugs 2 canbe s rung against the upper and lower ends of t e sleeves 7 by tightening the nuts 6, to hold the sleeve 7 lixedrelative to the plate 1 and the extension 8 and the socket 9 at a desired inclination relative to the bicycle. It is thought thatithe utility of the bicycle lamp bracket will be apparent without further description and I reserve the right to make the socket 9 of various shapes, to accommodate various types of lamps.

Having now described my invention, what Iclaim as new, isz` A lamp bracket for bicycles, com rising a plate, parallel apertured malleable ugs carried by said plate, a bolt adjustably mounted in-said lugs, a sleeve loosely mounted upon said boltbetween said lugs and adapted to be rictionallyheld thereby, an extension carried socket, and a-,hanger carried by the upper end of said plate to facilitate the fastening of the bracket to a. bicycle, substantially as described. f

In testimony whereof I a'ix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. A JOSEPH BOSNYAKOVITS.
